This is quite interesting! Thank you for the post. First, the women is as wrong as the man in the posted video. They both acted remarkably stupid and immature. The only difference is that at the end of the altercation the women has to go to the ER and the man does not. First, there appears to be blood on the woman's face after the man hits her. The women appears to be seriously injured. Whereas the man walked away unharmed. He clearly did not strike her out of self defense, he lashed back for revenge because she was treating him like dirt. he is stronger than her, and should have simply restrained her until police arrived. However, had the women been larger or armed I would completely understand his response. Then, I would consider it self defense. Nobody should strike anybody for any reason other than self defense.
If she started hitting him, she's asking for it. I don't care if the man is stronger, bigger... etc. She knew this before she hit him and she still did it, right? She knew his muscles is bigger and his bones are tougher yet, she still did it. The only reason she would still hit him like that is if she was extremely confident that he would never lay a hand on her and she can just hit men without a consequence. Sorry but, no. Some men will give a very memorable consequence.
On a more outside note though, it's funny how here in the West (I was born in the East) people are trying to achieve equality of beating within the sexes? Hitting people in my region has dire consequences. If a man hits a woman, he will never get respect again. If a woman hits a man, no-one would ever ask her hand for marriage.
For I traditions are very prevalent, within this is the creed you never lay a hand on a woman. What you say in regards to women maybe using this against a man is valid but it would still never lead me to hitting back. instead I would defend or restrain her.
The other aspect is the damage that could be done if i did hit back and the repurcussions that follow. i realise i could inflict similar damaGE on a male but I think the chances of damaging a woman with violence is greater
'East'- by your brief description of beliefs over this I assume you are from the Sub Continent?
By all means, go ahead. I'm not promoting violence because it does nothing but breed more violence. If you could control your emotions and just defend or restrain, that signals more mental strength on your side. But, a physical retaliation in this case is understandable and doesn't necessarily mean mentally weak.
Yes, we as men can cause damage on women with minimal strength. To recognize a much higher amount of strength than an opponent (be it male or female) and refusing to cause damage, takes a stronger individual. But, for a weaker male or female to take it that far is also stupid from their side and stupidity can result in severe consequences.
Give this man an award!! He realizes that it's not football if you only kick the ball once then run with it in your arms, he's in the top 10 percentile.
Hey OP, what if someone like Ronda Rousey would pick on your average joe on the street, and she starts to beat him up to pulp? Would it be justified for him to strike back? Or should he just TAKE THE BEATING LIKE A MAN? Is it justified that he punches her just because she is a professional fighter?
I don't hit women however if a woman tries to scratch my face with her finger nails, or tries to punch me, or kick me in the balls, or harm me in any way, i will knock them out, because if you behave like a man you are gonna be treated like a man, so don't hit a man and expect no retaliation.
This take is stupid, and OP deserves no respect. I guess we are all not real man here in G@G.
Tribe of Amazons? Your average joe isn't in the Amazon fraternizing with Amazon women.
What is more likely to happen, get beaten up by Ronda Rousey? Or getting impaled by spear thrown by an Amazon woman?
Oh and by the way my example was perfectly valid, but go ahead dismiss it again because you can't argue it, throw away another stupid example and NOT actually answer my questions on my opinion.
Oh and your example is very valid because every man goes to the Amazon rain forest to fraternize with Amazon women, but instead they get impaled by spears don't they?
Actually and just to educate you a little bit, my country Ecuador has a region that is part of the Amazon forest, and the tribes that live in such areas are actually very friendly and welcoming, there are also tourist trips to the Amazon forest, you can live with the tribes, learn their culture and experience nature first hand. So your example is actually very inaccurate and invalid.
Now just let me hit that Block button on your profile, because i am actually tired of arguing with a doormat, who one day is gonna get killed by a woman, so much to be a "real"man.
Women are not children and shouldn't be treated as such. You should never hurt anyone but if they hit you first then they are fair game, girl or guy. The only people you shouldn't hit if they attack you are children.
I disagree Men and women are physically different and should be treated as such, that's not to say that they're aren't tough women but there is a difference.
I agree with you! if a woman hurts the man, then how can you judge him for hitting her in self defence?
@gobsmacked3 You cannot judge a man who gets hurt by woman and then hurts her in self defense! restraining is not part our human instincts so that part is not relevant to me.
@Holygirl01 yeah and it's not as easy to restrain a grown woman as some people think. Just because we tend to be weaker does not mean we are weak. My sister's boyfriend is pretty big but he can't even restrain her and she isn't miss universe or anything.
I obviously didn't agree, my stance is that women and men are in general physically different and as such require different reactions. I dismissed it not to be rude but I felt if guys lived by that rule they could end up in serious trouble.
the bitch in the video deserved to get knocked out. Im so fucking sick of this selective equality bullshit... if you attack someone then you face the consequences... regardless of gender.
If it was a smaller man with small man syndrome no one would bat an eye lid, but women are free to attack men knowing that 90% they will never get hit back, but when the man does retaliate people lose their shit.
You feminazis want equality, then im afraid you cannot cherry pick.
men and women are equal so what does it matter if he hit her back when she clearly deserved it?

I love this myTake. That video you showed was a perfect example. There was no justification for him to hit her in that way and hugging was the best way to go. He did not have to go all out hitting her and punching her to the ground the way he did. People who think it's okay to hit a person in that way after a few small blows in the face are not right in the mind. That eye for an eye bullshit is childish.
People who hit women who pose no threat to them are also bad people who are disgusting.
I'm so confused about what I just read now. I'm team never hit a woman. But some women wouldn't let a man leave the situation. So should he stand defennseless and get abused! hell no. Also some women through nives, electric tools, hot water, iron machines on men. They block the door too. So she gets hit and that's self defense.
Now the video, first of all that woman was abusive and obviously behind close doors she done worse to do that on public. She CAN cause physical damage to a man using tools or pouring hot water on him. So this guy lost it eventually. Yes typically he could of walked away. But it doesn't mean he didn't have the right to hit her back and break a nose or a jaw. I'm sorry that's not about equality but that video is disgusting.
So your going to stand there if she kicks you in the balls and continues to lash out?
Honestly I say guys have the right to do some harm just nothing excessive like punching or kicking or things that leave visable marks. As guys typically already got the muscle advantage grabing a leg or arm she is using to hit you with and just holding it in a way that neutralizes the threat. If its provable that you were only trying to get her to stop and listen its honestly at worst it might be an issue of wrist or calf bruising.
But if your reading this in NO shape or form do I think abuse is okay. But to stop her from hurting you and neutralizing her attempts to harm a guy is in the right. If you intentionally hit first expect a retaliation as every effect in life and physics comes with a equal effect that could be as strong or less strong after shock.
So she smacked & kicked the guy & expected him to just take it. The same could be said if it was a smaller guy hitting a big guy. If you ask me she got what she deserved.
I do not remember extolling 'he just takes it'- rather he defends himself by placating her by restraining her or defending himself. Instead of responding with aggression
Its never okay for anyone to harm anyone, period. I don't care what the other person did, no one deserves to be attacked. I know men who have been attacked by women who bit them among other things and the men did nothing but call the police. I've seen the same women have nothing happen to them, not even being arrested for assault. I have also known men who have assaulted women and were arrested.
Anyone who instigates a fight with someone else is in the wrong, man or woman, first to hit or not. Everyone has their limits of what they can take before they snap. Everyone has different behaviors when they do snap. Saying someone is or is not a real man or woman because of whatever action you dislike avoids the underlying issues. Of course a man who hits a woman is still a real man. He is more than likely a bad man; let's just say for the sake of argument that is a bad man, but still a man, because if he identifies with the male gender that is what makes him a man, not whether he is good or not. The title statement implies that decency and manliness are somehow equal, leaving the possibility open that perhaps other gender identities are equatable to something other than decency, and could even be taken (though I am sure it is NOT the original intent, but just saying) to imply that being manly is the only valid way a person can be.
Excuse me but the moment she goes for my privates with a kick or, heaven fucking forbid, attacks my little brother or anyone I love - all reason goes out the window, as will her teeth.
Any male who would hit a woman is pathetic. Fuck self defense... Women usually don't hit men and it usually never hurt when girls hit me. As an asexual guy who has got sexually harassed by women, I have never laid a hand on a woman. I would rather run away than fight back and cause more damage. I don't want to get into trouble over something that's so stupid.
Either is the women who hits a men is not a real lady. There not double gender rules. Now if someone hit you and you have to protect yourself that another story.
Many female thing what they do is OK but if a male does it that it a crime. So if a women start to beat on me. The law states I can laid her out. If I feel tread in any way. People who hit others show they real are a very low level human.
Girls who hits boys in the testicles. He has the right to knock you out. Female work are in double gender rules. So you female make sure also as the male that we do not hit anyone. Do you understand.

Now, maybe if you said a real man does not hit a lady and I might agree with you, however, the moment a woman gets physically or even verbally aggressive and starts to attack a man she is no longer a lady and is fair game. I'm not one for fights, but I am not against a man hitting a woman if hitting the woman is the quickest and safest way for him to diffuse the situation.

And by that I mean, if restraining the woman isn't enough to put him in a safe position, then hitting her is acceptable.
Sorry, but I have to call bullshit here, because that's exactly what this is. Women are not children and they need to be held accountable for their actions just like men have always been. If a woman is stupid enough to physically attack someone who is clearly bigger and stronger than her, she deserves to get exactly the same thing in return.
Shit like this take is what gives women the the false sense of security that allows them to feel comfortable physically attacking a man because they think he will be a white knight and won't respond in kind. Those days are long gone. It's time women were treated like adults. Only then will we see a reduction of female on male violence.

I consider myself a true egalitarian, and therefore if a woman hits me I sure as fuck am hitting her back. To hold back would be sexist.
I'm 5'6'', so that's not really true. And I couldn't care less about what some random stranger on the internet thinks of me, all I'm saying is that I don't care what's in someone's pants. If they hit me, they're getting hit.
I disagree. I've had many personal experiences where my sister would pull my hair, hit me, and generally bully me. Then, I'd hit her back and I got in trouble, cuz apparently I'm just supposed to tank those hits. Here's where you're wrong:
Too much generalization! A woman isn't always weaker than a man. On average it may be true, but the best thing to do is to not generalize. It depends on the case. For example, if a weaker woman kept slapping me and attacking me, I would obviously not hit her with full force. I'd hold back my hits and make sure I don't permanently hurt her. If a woman was stronger and an actual threat, I'd fight my way out if there were no other options. If this kind of logic was implemented everywhere, women would be excluded from many jobs, simply cuz they're supposedly weaker.

i used to play football with a few lads from Eritrea- they were the loveliest fellows :0

Yes, Football :)

Thank you for the laugh by giving the example of a Rousey
lets face it- every woman is like her... LOL!
There you go, you just can't argue what i said.
Well i hope you get beaten up or stabbed by the very same women that you so adamantly defend. No point if further arguing with you.
I wouldn't entertain the moronic example that you give, merely dismiss it with mocking
You will dismiss anything that you can't argue against.
When someone gives Rousey as an example of real life you are compelled to dismiss...
At least you could have been a bit more real- how bout a tribe of Amazons...
Tribe of Amazons? Your average joe isn't in the Amazon fraternizing with Amazon women.

@dudeman even if she did he didn't have to hit her like that
he didn't have to but he was justified in doing so.
@dudeman it was over the top
yet still justified.
Excuse me, but why are we concentrating on the aspects of him hitting her and not about why she thought she had any right to hit him?

agree with your view that violence against anyone is never right.
i think any adult who hits another adult outside of self-defense is not a Real Adult. i don't think gender should matter in this regard

sorry, but if i feel as though i am going to be endangered due to violence from another human, then i will be defending myself
difference between defending and attacking
If a woman was aggressive to i, I would certainly defend, but never attack
your last image saying "it doesn't matter what she did" striked me a bit differently... misjudgement on my part.
but yeah, i wouldn't start violence with anyone, i'd only ever use it for defence, that's it.
